Don't waste your time on this. I installed it and the only servers that I could find were either DM/TDM or CTF. OK, that's all fine and everything...but the death-nell for me was that it was only 16 person servers up. 16 people? I haven't played a game with only 16 people in years. Give us at least 32 man servers. The more the merrier when it comes to FPS multiplayer.
